Universitario de Deportes is a Peruvian football club based in Lima. Also referred to as Universitario or La U, together with their local rivals Alianza Lima, they are one of most successful football clubs in Peru. The club was founded in 1924 as Federacion Universitaria by students at the National University of San Marcos. Since 2000 they play their home games at the Estadio Monumental. The club has won the national championship 24 times, more than any other club in Peru.

[edit] History
The early Universitario teams were made up of university students, who came from the middle and lower middle classes. Thus, most players in the team were white or mestizos. In contrast Alianza Lima, selected mainly black or mulattos players. Until the 1980s it was rare for a player to play for both clubs. However in more recent times this divide has disappeared and several players have played for both teams. The main ultra supporters groups include "La Trinchera Norte" and "La Barra Oriente". The former has reputation for the more violent and aggressive. Members of both groups regularly travel across Peru to support the club. A founding member of "La Trinchera Norte" known as "Misterio", is well known in Peru for killing himself playing Russian roulette. A local mini-series, called Misterio too, was made based on his life.

[edit] Club hymnser un hincha ferviente,el más apasionado de este grandioso club. Me gusta su jugada, y no es palanganada, un capo entre los capos, seguro que es la "U". Lo dice el mundo entero, es un cuadro copero, por guapo y elegante, difícil de igualar. Ya todos lo están viendo y se están convenciendo, ¡Ay...! ¡Qué gusto me da! ¡Universitario!, del balonpié peruano, la máxima expresión. ¡Universitario!, tu juego es la alegría de mi alma y corazón.(bis) Cuando estás en la grama y haces tu filigrana, yo siento aquí en el alma cuán grande es mi emoción. Igual que un muchachito, me paro salto y grito, me río y hasta lloro, celebrando tu gol. Con la crema en el pecho, paseas trecho a trecho llenándome de orgullo tu estampa señorial. ¡Arriba, club querido, te sigo y te he seguido porque eres colosal...! ¡Universitario!, del balonpié peruano, la máxima expresión. ¡Universitario!, tu juego es la alegría de mi alma y corazón.(bis) From http://www.daleucampeon.4t.com/ [edit] External Links
